The Stihl HT 100, HT 101, HT 130, and HT 131 models are professional-grade pole pruners designed for precision pruning and high reach tasks. Each model is equipped with a powerful 4-MIX® engine, which combines the benefits of a 2-stroke and 4-stroke engine, offering high torque, reduced emissions, and improved fuel efficiency. The HT 100 and HT 101 are similar in design, with the HT 101 featuring an extendable shaft for greater reach, making it suitable for higher branches without the need for ladders.

The gearhead design ensures precise cutting, and the lightweight construction of each model enhances maneuverability, making them ideal for professional arborists and landscapers. The automatic chain oiling system ensures consistent lubrication, reducing wear and extending the life of the cutting components. Each model also features a side-access chain tensioner for easy adjustments and maintenance.

The ergonomic design includes a multi-function control handle, providing easy access to all controls for safer and more efficient operation. The telescopic shaft options available on the HT 101 and HT 131 allow for variable adjustments, catering to a range of heights and cutting needs. With a focus on durability, efficiency, and user comfort, the Stihl HT series pole pruners are engineered to deliver high performance in diverse pruning applications.
